Jacob's ladder Like the Sermon on the mountain Says the dumber got dumb Hellfire and brimstone Swapped for oil and guns When we're pushing up daisies We all look the same In the name of the Father, maybe But not in my name On this Jacob's ladder The only way up is down One step from disaster Two to make the higher ground Jacob's ladder And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain And they sent him to the wars to be slain A million lifetimes Left dying in the sun In the streets down in Whitehall Dogs pickin' at the bones Nine-eleven got branded Nine-eleven got sold And there'll be no one left to water All the seeds you sow On this Jacob's ladder The only way up is down One step from disaster To to make the higher ground
